From sea to shining sea, and from the desert to the beach – it’s been a whirlwind of a year for this traveling gal!! Our RV travels have brought us from the mountains of Arizona and Utah to the beaches of Alabama and Florida, and from the forests of Wisconsin to the mountains of Tennessee. We even spent a couple of months seeing the Big 5 National Parks of Utah (oh the sights!!) Along the way, there has been a lot of adventure, and some heartbreak too, as we lost our beloved Riley dog at 15 years old in January while in Gulf Shores, Alabama. And soon I will be a Fort Myers Beach photographer! Yayyyy!
Fort Myers Beach Photographer
As of tomorrow, our new address will be in Fort Myers Beach, Florida! We’ll spend the winter on Fort Myers’ warm sunny sands, soaking it all up while thumbing our noses at our friends and family up north (sorry guys! Not!) While we are there, we will be looking to make this paradise our permanent residence. We have a campsite for 7 months, and during that time (hopefully) we will be able to find our perfect permanent home in the area.
Some of our favorite places to go in the area that I’m REALLY looking forward to visiting again include Yucatan Beach Stand Bar & Grill (the swings at the bar are a blast!!, Cabos Cantina in downtown Fort Myers (the Mango Salsa is so fresh and delicious!), The Edison & Ford Winter Estates (just totally cool!), as well as the nearby Butterfly Estates (which is now sadly, closed permanently).
I also have some really interesting and exciting thoughts running through my ADHD brain that will allow me to do what I love most – serving my clients through photography – while also being able to make an income in the area. I have some really fun ideas in mind, that I can’t wait to start implementing! But, one thing at a time – first I have to get there!! Tomorrow – yayyyyyyyyy!!!
We really love the whole Fort Myers area, and cannot wait to become residents of this beautiful town!! I cannot wait to photograph the beach, and the town, and the birds, and the flowers, and the people, and the food (oh the food!) – well you get it – EVERYTHING! And I cannot wait to share my talents and knowledge with all the great folks who are lucky enough to call this place home. Stay tuned for some REALLY exciting new things from Carol Mellema Photography!!
